Is the steering as unnervingly direct as people who have driven it said?

Did it catch on fire at any time?

It's the super car experience in Disney World, I've been there before.

Driving experience in Disney. I'm expecting it to be amazing.

id like to know your feelings of superior self worth before, during your time with the car, and how long any inflation of that ego lasts after the drive. :)

No, they have a special device that is attached to the engine that hampers the engine. They usually use it on the back straight that starts with a banked curve. They also use it after you finish the lap, near where all of the cars start. I don't know 100% how they use it, as I was only a passenger in the Gallardo Supperleggera, but that's what I can remember from what my dad told me when he drove the 458.

Interesting. Probably some sort of radio transmitter wired into the ECU to neuter the car in the fast bits. Interesting.

Is there anyway to avoid being consumed with hatred and jealousy for you over this?

A guy I work with at the track said they might give you more liberties or less redundant instruction if they can be convinced you know what you're doing. But that guy did have a ton of track experience...anyway try that.

Just watched the Top Gear Special with this 458 a SLS and a GT3RS. Most crowded steering wheel ....in the world.

Luckily, you don't need to use any of those to go fast.

It is ridiculously precise. It just goes wherever you point it and goes there fast.

It actually broke down briefly before I drove it, but no fire.

Smoother than I expected. But I was on a track and not real roads, though.

I got to drive 6 laps around a mile circuit. As for cost, not sure since this was a gift, but I think around $300 for my time on track.

Man. so if we can get people in to these cars BEFORE they begin their career, they can achieve so much more and be so much more productive than a regular peon without a drive in a Ferrari. Awesome results.
